Instructions

  1. Heat the oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion, garlic, jalapeño and sweet potato cubes. Saute until vegetables are just starting to caramelize.  Stir in the spices.
  2. Add tomatoes, coconut milk, water, and peanuts and bring to a simmer. Simmer 5-10 minutes to blend flavors and ensure that sweet potatoes are tender.
  3. Remove some of the hot broth to a spearate bowl and dissolve the peanut butter in it. Stir back into the soup.
  4. Chop kale or spinach, then add to the stew. Taste and add hot sauce if you’d like some additional heat.
  5. Garnish with cilantro to serve (optional).
